Travis and Jordan were sealed for Time and Eternity in the Orlando Temple yesterday March 4th. It was their 2nd anniversary. (What a way to celebrate an anniversary.) It couldn't have been a more perfect day! Thanks to all those who supported them and helped to make it so special. Here are a few of my favorite pictures.
This is us with Harry's parents, Trav's Grandpa and Grandma Griffis.
This is a picture of us with my parents, Trav's Papa and Grandmother Crenshaw.

The Orlando Temple is so beautiful at night! You often don't get there and see it in the dark but it is so beautiful. I just wish I could have taken a picture with my camera that would do it justice.

TUESDAY, MARCH 4, 2008 - A SPECIAL DAY
Our grandchildren Travis & Jordan Griffis invited Papa and me - and other family & friends to share their SECOND WEDDING ANNIVERSARY with them at the Temple.
We arrived safely and on time. Billy hurried on in and I was taking my time, as I had not slept all night. I did sleep the 2 hours riding to the temple and was making some adjustments to my hair etc. (vanity thy name is woman).
As I was attending to these mundane activities and started to go in, I checked to make sure I had my reccommend. The last two weeks have been in preparation to obtain my reccommend with an interview with a counselors of our ward bishopric stake presidency.
I checked my purse for the zippered change purse that I carry my IDs and loose change in.
The saying "my heart sank" is indeed a correct one. A more thorough search of my purse comfirmed what I already knew.
The sinking feeling became more extreme as I reflected on the last time I had the change purse. That had been Sunday evening when I got a credit card out, because Billy couldn't put his hand on his quick enough and he was on line ordering some things from the church distribution center.
Yes, I remember I returned the card to the little purse - buuut then I was blank as to it getting back in the large purse. Apparently it had not.
So as I sat admiring the beauty and joy of the temple on the outside, family members were inside with Travis & Jordan as they spent their special day.
I had plenty of time to reflect on my blessings and the eternal sacred ordinances that were being taken care of, knowing that another generation of Padgett - Valentine descendants were embracing the gospel principles and gifts of the atonement of our saviour Jesus Christ.
I did get to enjoy being with them and eating together before departing our separate journeys homeward. We went to the Mellenia (sp?) Mall and 14 family & friends who joined Travis & Jordan at the Cheesecake Factory for a delicious dinner.
